Initiative 03
Speakers' Bureau
An opportunity for partners to bring diverse voices into classrooms, virtually or in person.
Using video conferencing and travel alike, the Speakers' Bureau connects students directly with scholars, researchers, and practitioners affiliated with the Lab — letting students engage with the authors of the texts they study and with ongoing research they would not otherwise encounter. The first event took place on 19 November 2025, when Dr. Courtney Campbell delivered a guest lecture in a Transnational Feminisms course.
